a forceful rejection of that gleeful, adolescent paranoia that masquerades
as hardcore realism… “catastrophism’ is a wish expressed as a fear, a
masochistic cop-out that postures as bravery. Welcoming the end of the
world as the catalyst of political deliverance is one of the most
irresponsible positions on offer. This book is a superb antidote to the
unproductive politics of fear.” \n —
Christian Parenti, author of Tropic of Chaos\n \n“Bravo! This…has been
sorely needed for so long to reveal the dead end that a politics founded on
catastrophic predictions must lead to in terms of either preventing them or
actually changing the world. Essential reading for all those on the left
who are concerned with the question of strategy today.”\n— Leo
Panitch, coauthor, “The Making of Global Capitalism”\n
\n“Catastrophism comes at the right moment: the year of The End
proclaimed across the political spectrum from deep ecologists to the Mayan
Calendarists It is a warning not to abandon everyday anticapitalist
politics for a politics of absolute fear that inevitably leads to
inaction.” \n— Silvia Federici, author, Revolution at Point Zero:
Housework, Reproduction, and Feminist Struggle\n \nSasha Lilley, a writer
and radio broadcaster, is the co-founder and host of the critically
acclaimed program of radical ideas, Against the Grain. While program
director of KPFA Radio, the flagship station of the Pacifica Network, she
headed up such award-winning national broadcasts as "Winter Soldier: Iraq
and Afghanistan." Sasha is the series editor of PM Press’ political
economy imprint, Spectre, and is the author of Capital and Its Discontents.
Her co-authors for Catastrophism are David McNally, Eddie Yuen, and James
Davis.\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2013/01/20/18730590.php
